This website contains a wealth of information specifically directed towards the healthcare professional who is interested in the application and clinical value of larval therapy for sloughy/necrotic or infected wounds. If you are not a healthcare professional, please visit our page for patients and their carers.
In the European Union, larval therapy is classified as a medicine and available
only under the direction of a medically qualified practitioner.

December 2009 legislation changed to allow... Nurse Independent Prescribers to prescribe
unlicensed medicines in all clinical areas" - Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.
In the UK, medical practitioners may prescribe our products on a named patient basis with appropriate re-imbursement from the NHS. There is a wealth of independent peer reviewed articles available on larval therapy and our website contains much valuable background information to facilitate appropriate, timely and cost-effective choice of therapy. We have a team of qualified Clinical Nurse Advisors specifically to address the needs of practitioners for education, advice and guidance. Please do not hesitate to contact us to arrange an appointment or conversation by phone with our team.
In other parts of the EU, we supply larval therapy through our relationships with medical professionals or specialty healthcare distributors. Our website gives further information on these arrangements.
Larval therapy is growing rapidly as a result of the availability of consistently high quality products and concurrent concerns regarding the effectiveness of antibiotic alternatives. Our current presentations have overcome traditional reluctance of practitioners to handle larvae and our state-of-the-art facility is licensed by the UK MHRA both for the production of specials and for investigational medicinal products.
We can assure you of our complete support in your choice of larval therapy in chronic wound management.
